Do I need light to germinate seeds?
Yes, most seeds require light to germinate, but some seeds can germinate in darkness.
Do seeds need light to grow, and if so, how does the presence or absence of light affect their growth process?
Seeds do not need light to germinate, but they do need light to grow and develop properly. Light is essential for photosynthesis, the process by which plants make their own food. Without light, plants cannot produce the energy they need to grow. In the absence of light, seeds may germinate but will not grow well and may become weak and leggy.
Do seeds need sunlight to grow?
Seeds need low light and a constant, warm temperature. Sunlight provides warmth but the light is not necessary.
Do seeds need light to germinate, or can they germinate in the dark?
Seeds do not necessarily need light to germinate, as they can germinate in the dark. The process of germination is primarily triggered by factors such as moisture, temperature, and oxygen availability. Light may be required for some specific seeds, but many seeds can germinate in the absence of light.
Do marigolds need light to germinate?
Yes, marigold seeds need light to germinate.
Does a seed need sun to grow?
In a way, yes. Some seeds germinate only when covered with soil, but the actual triggering mechanism depends on the wavelength of light reaching the seed. Seeds that germinate in "darkness" require long wavelength light to do so, ie. heatwaves. Seeds that grow on the surface need short-wave light to start germination.
Does mint need light to germinate?
Yes, mint seeds do not require light to germinate. They can germinate in darkness or low light conditions.
Why do seeds not grow in a packet?
Seeds need moisture to germinate, and seed packets are dry.
How much light do seeds need to germinate successfully?
Seeds need varying amounts of light to germinate successfully, depending on the plant species. Some seeds require light to germinate, while others need darkness. Generally, seeds that need light to germinate should be placed on the soil surface or only lightly covered. It is important to follow specific instructions for each type of seed to ensure successful germination.
Do seeds need light to sprout?
Seeds do not necessarily need light to sprout, but some seeds do require light to germinate. This process is called photoblastism.
Seed need sunshine to start growing?
* Absolutely! Sunlight is essential for plants to grow. there is a big difference between what a plant needs to grow and what a seed needs to germinate. most seeds require darkness to germinate, some are light inhibited and a few require light to germinate- most notable of these is lettuce.
Do delphinium seeds started indoors need light or dark cold or warmth?
Delphinium seeds need light to germinate, so they should be placed in a location that receives indirect sunlight. They do not require darkness or cold temperatures to germinate. Keep the soil consistently moist and warm around 65-70°F for successful seed germination.
